Blurring geographical borders, innovative technologies, conflict-marred regions, and emerging opportunities have catalysed large-scale global migration. Such shifts in the global populace, who still have their roots intact in their native lands, have tremendously boosted the money remittance market.
It would be correct to presume that the promise of a better standard of living and professional growth will prompt even more migration out of low- and mid-income countries – and therefore, result in more money transfers. That premise holds true if we take into consideration the $529 billion received in remittances by these countries in 2018.
However, it’s also interesting to note that global remittances received are on the rise too, up from $633 billion in 2017 to $689 billion in 2018.

There are no hidden costs involved
Remitting money, the old way, led to multiple people getting involved and each siphoning off a part of the transaction into their own pockets. This multi-layered cut and commission process considerably reduced the final amount that reaches the intended person.
With the introduction of money transfer organisations, people have become more informed as they know the exact amount of money deducted in fees and the exact amount that will reach the family. However, the numbers didn’t always match, as some organisations could choose to not disclose the hidden and peripheral costs involved.
At Xpress Money, we promote a high level of transparency and put all transfer fees and associated costs upfront. Barring these, you will never face any surprise deductions as we pride ourselves on guaranteeing a ‘no hidden fee’ approach to all our customers. Plus, by using our currency converter feature, you can find out how exchange rates are calculated and instantly know the actual amount the recipient will receive.
Benefit from the best transfer rates
Even the best-performing currency can dwindle to an insignificant amount if you factor in the currency exchange rate and transfer fees. Xpress Money’s competitive transfer fee ensures you don’t burn a sizeable chunk of your currency transfer on peripheral costs.

There’s undoubtedly some apprehension involved in remitting money, especially if it’s from one continent to another. Whether you are looking to transfer money from outside the country or within, get peace of mind by being aware of where exactly your money is with our transaction tracker feature. This gives you step-by-step information on your money, and you will also be notified once the money reaches the intended recipient.
